Sharing My Story of the Holocaust so we never forget
I was a young boy living in Denmark when the Nazis conquered Denmark in 1940. We experienced three years of occupation until my family and I were arrested and deported to the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia in 1943. Theresienstadt was a work camp, not one of the infamous extermination facilities. However it became a death camp for my father, an attorney, who died within six months of starvation and hard labor.
The number of Holocaust survivors dwindles each year, thus young and old people alike may have less of a chance to hear a first hand account of the Holocaust. I make myself available to school and civic groups and provide a first hand account of my experience during the Holocaust. I welcome inquiries from middle school and high school teachers who teach about the Holocaust. I also speak to college, university, religious, and civic organizations. If you would be interested in talking to me about possibly speaking to your group, please contact me. In the meantime you can become acquainted with my story in this video that was filmed and edited by Kalina Silverman.
